The Superbia Group has acquired South East-based Headley Financial Services in a deal backed by Shawbrook. The deal, the company’s fifth acquisition in the last 12 months and its first takeover in the South East, expands Superbia’s geographical presence and provides a platform for further bolt-on acquisitions in the area.
Leicester-based The Superbia Group was founded in 2019 and comprises a range of financial services businesses, including Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management, Asset Intelligence Research and Financial Advisers, Furnley House.
Commenting on the acquisition and the group’s ongoing growth plans, The Superbia Group Managing Director Stefan Fura said: "The Superbia Group has ambitious growth plans with a particular focus on expanding in the Midlands and South East.”
"Shawbrook understood our strategy and structured a package that combined the funding immediacy for our first acquisition in the South East with a committed facility for our longer-term plans."
Shawbrook Director Steve Armstrong added that Superbia’s development over recent years is “testament to the strength of its growth model”.
Armstrong continued: "We overcame some tight deadlines to get them the funding when they needed and we're very pleased to be working alongside the strong management team as they continue to expand and capitalise on further opportunities.”
Heligan Group provided The Superbia Group with buy-side support on the deal, as well as debt advisory, while SHMA provided the group with legal services.
Heligan Group Corporate Finance Director Matt Croker said: "The acquisition provides Superbia with a scalable platform in the South East for further bolt-on acquisitions and Shawbrook's team had the sector and regional knowledge to deliver the funding for the overall strategy and this transaction in the timescales required."
